#Ethereum Foundation Reform#

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing a major transformation, a process that has been ongoing for nearly a year. The goal of the reform is to enhance the leadership's technical capabilities, improve two-way communication with stakeholders across the ecosystem (including users, application developers, wallets, and L2s), strengthen execution and speed, attract new talent, actively support application developers, and ensure that core values such as privacy, open-source, and censorship resistance are implemented at the application layer.Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that the EF will not pursue ideological shifts, nor will it engage in excessive lobbying of regulators or political figures, and it will absolutely not become a battleground for interest groups. He believes that the EF should more actively use the tools built within the ecosystem, including DeFi, even if it might mean the EF is not entirely neutral in this regard.Community opinions on the EF's reform are mixed. Some believe the EF should focus more on technological development, while others believe the EF should be more actively involved in the ecosystem's construction. Ultimately, the direction of the EF's reform will depend on community input and Vitalik Buterin's decisions.
